| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Tapetal cells are nursery cells for developing pollen grains in anthers. One of the most characteristic features of the cells is binucleation. Live imaging revealed that the binucleation proceeds synchronously in tapetal tissue. During the process, we found that spindles formed normally but phragmoplast disappeared without producing cell plates. In the late stage of anther development, we observed tapetal cells become protoplasts and migrate interstitially through pollen grains in locules. Then they collapse and release their components to the surroundings of pollen grains. It may contribute to form uniform pollen coats on the surface of all pollen grains in locules.
